A SUCCESSFUL SCHEME.
A Boycott Which Caught the Boys and
Drove Them Into the Temperance
Ranks.

A boycott Which Caught the Boys and
Drove Them Into the Temperance
Ranks.
We have before had occasion to re-
mark that Irish women never do any
thing by halves. A line illustration of
this. in the comparatively new fl I'D of
temperance work, is set forth in let
ter to the Philadelphia Times from
Wilkesbarre, Pa, which says:
The progress of Temperance prin-
ciples among the young Irish-Ameri-
cans of the coal region within the last
ten years is simply without q parallel
in the history of Temperance reform.
In fact, the Temperance feeling is now
so strong that no young man can enter
the charming circle of female society
unless he is an avowed Temperance
man and wears the Father Mathew
badge. 1t has now come to such pass
that the young lrish-American ladies
will have nothing to do with the man
who drinks. By raising this boycott
against the boys the girls have played
the part of true Temperance mission
aries, in that they succeeded in driving
the young men into the societies. An
illustration of this was seen in the
town of Beaver Meadow last spring.
when all the girls in the place COM
bined and resolved that they would not
accept the attention of any young man
until he had first sicncd the pledge
and joined the St, AIoysius Society.
For while it was thought the young
ladies We're not in earnest, and that
the boycott would soon be lifted. But
the young ladies were determined, and
when the young fellows found this out
they surrendered, and forthwith there.
Was rush for admission into the local
Temperance Society. The latter is,
now in very flourishing condition."

Distractedly he tore the envelope;
doubtless some compliments from his
friends of the Respes division! OF a
sudden, he Strengthened himself, paler
than death, passed his hands on his
forehead and with loud Mortified
voice. he read:
marcel relapsed. Lost. Courage"
MY Godr'
And he fell on his bed, his arms
stretched in despair.
Now. Captain. what has happened
to you?"
1t was Sailor Noelic bringing back
the coat No. /, on which shone three
gold and two silver galloons, the
former old. the latter new.
Robeline rose; unconsciously he
opened his desk, read again the mes
sage and his wife's letter. His hands
shook, he could not see line and he
turned the pages feverishly. When he
came to the last one, with voice choked
with sobs trying to initiate the tone of
the voice OF the departed child, even his
lisp. he read:
my CHERISHED LITTLE FATHER: Since I
am well mamma has taught me how to write to
enable me to write alone to you to tell you that
l love you with all my heart, and that find the
time very long without you.
Please do not forget to bring me plenty of
Chinese toys.
II kiss you thousands of times. Your good
boy. MARCEL RoBELINE."
30, Noelic, my poor Noelic!"
He leaned on the sailors neck in his
need of speaking to somebody. allowing
his heart to break for a pity around
him.
Then, showing the portrait of his
child that laughed in the midst of the
s::ords and revolvers. he exclaimed:
He is dead! Noelic, my little one is
deadr'
And while the sailor supported him,
without letting go his hold on the coat
No. l, Captain Robeline cried long
time. Big tears rolled fast and heavy
down his cheeks and fell on his new
galloons.
Poor father. From the French, in N.
Y. Graphic.

EVER TRUE.

Joyous at heart as a summer day
A lassie stands by the meadow way,
And looks at face that is very dear,
And wonders in words that know nothing Of
fear
"Will you be true, love? will you be truef
Win you love me as love you'll
Win love grow stronger as years roll on,
And be truest when youth and beauty have
gone?
viii you be true, love? will you be true?'
Joyous at heart on their wedding morn
Husband and wife walk home through the corn,
And each seems to hear the old-time song
AS, hand in hand, they wander along:
''Will you be true, love? will you be trueg
Will you love me as love you?
Win love grow stronger as years roll on,
And be truest when youth and beauty have
gone?
WIN you be true, love? will you be true:''
Joyous at heart when their hair is gray
Husband and wife together stray,
And hand clasps hand as they pass along,
And the heart OF each is glad with song:
"You have been true, love! you have been
true
Loving me well as I have loved you
And time and change, and good and i'll
Have linked us closer and closer still
Hearts ever true, love! hearts ever true!

CARAVAN TRAVELLING.
The Most Enjoyable and Romantic Way
Seeing a Country.

The Most Enjoyable and Romantic Way OF
Seeing Country.
A French friend of mine lives near
one of those pretty shady avenues q
trees that are common on the outskirts
of French towns, and often in the morn
ing he walks out in that direction. One
day his curiosity was attracted bya
caravan that sought the shade there.
The horses were embarrassed by a SEW
ant, and the master came out of the
vehicle and looked around him with
the eye of a stranger to the locality
There is something about that cara
van," my friend thought. ''that seems
unusual, and l should like to find ont
what it is" Impelled by this desire,
he entered into conversation with the
owner, who was Immediately recog-
nizable as Il gentleman, and my friend
being of the same class they soon
became communicative, as French
people will when they have not
made up their minds to be rigidly
solemn and reserved. The owner
of the caravan was M. lie Comte
de B., the horses were his carriage
horses, the man was his groom, and
Mime. la Comtesse was inside the house
on wheels, occupied in cooking the de-
jeuaer. They remained in that place
twenty-four hours, and my friend be-
came almost intimate with them. They
both said that of all the varieties of
travelling this was what they most en-
joyed. 1t had begun by an attempt to
explore some part of the country where
the inns were bad, but since then they
had come to prefer the caravan to any
inns whatever; and. in fact, there were
two or three excellent hotels in the
town they were then visiting. The cara
van was arranged with great skill, so
as to give good accommodation in a
restricted space, and the servant was
provided for by q sort of tent, not set up
separately on the ground, but belonging
to the habitation itself. Looking at this
arrangement from a practical point of
view it might be thought that with q
lady on board it would be desirable
to have q second caravan with serv-
ants. That, however. would involve
great increase of expense. Yet
the continual expense would not be
great, as the extra pair of horses
night be hired for the excursion only.
One of my friends. who knew that l
was interested in every thing concern
ing Independent travel, told me of a
moving establishment he had met with
in Italy. A rich Italian nobleman
travelled with four caravans Of commo-
dious size and admirably contrived,
each drawn by pair of fine horses.
On arriving at hating place for the
night the vehicles were placed in the
form Of Il hollow square, and the place
SO inclosed was covered in with can
vas roof. This made sort of central
hall, in which the owner and his family
dined in great state, the caravans serv-
ing as bedrooms. Now. although this
may seem an eXtravagant way of trav-
cling. it is, in fact, merely an unaccus-
toned way of employing q rich man $
establishment of horses and men. The
extra expense involved by this particu-
lar employment of them need not be
extremely onerous. &C. p. HGmerton,

WHAT a M AN EATS.
Amount of Solid Liquid Food Con-
sumed by Every Individual.


sumed by Every Individual.
1t has been calculated that on the
average each man who attains the age
of three score and ten consumes during
the course of his life twenty wagon
loads of food, solid and liquid. Atfour
tons to the wagon, this would CORE
spond to an average of about hundred
ounces of food per day, or say some one
hundred and twenty ounces per day
during adult life, and about eighty
ounces during infancy and youth. Most
modern doctors agree in regarding one
hundred and twenty ounces of food per
day, corresponding to five or six half
pints of liquid food, and seven or eight
pounds of solid food, as in excess of the
real daily requirements of a healthy
man or woman.
Yet, probably most of us take more
than this, in one way or another, dur
ing the day. Dr. Lancaster. from an
extensive analysis of the dietary of SOL
diers, sailors, prisoners and the better
paid classes of artisans and profession
Ill lllcu III llDlhOuS lpAhNt AiiC Ci
daily quantity of solid and liquid food
to be 143 ounces. DOUBTLESS many take
much less; but unqucstionably many
take much more than this. When
some one mentioned before Sydney
Smith the twenty wagon-loads of food
calculated for each mans allowance,
he turned to Lord Durham, who. like
himself, was corpulent (and not with
out sufficient reason), with the quaint
remark: Il think our wagons, Durham,
must be four-horsed ones" There are
members of the London Corporation, to
seek no further, whose wagons must
be six-horsed ones, and well loaded at

Trifling with Danger.

was sitting at the table of an Irish
merchant some years ago at Sligo.
He had eight children. He had his
wines and brandy on the table. and,
of course. asked me to drink; and
had to give my reasons for declining.
This gave me an opportunity to put in
q little Temperance; and while | was
making my little speech. by way OF
apology made this remark: al would
like to see the man who could truth
fully say: No relative or friend of
mine ever fell through jntemperance.
His knife and fork fell from his grasp,
and he renamed silent for some Sec
onds.
WELL" said he at len tn, II am not
that man. My first Sunday-school
superintendent was man of genial
spirit and noble mien. He went into
the wine trade and died . drunkard
before he was forty. My first class-
leader, l believe, was good, intelli-
gent, useful man; but he too soon
yielded to intemperance, and died
drunkard, My own father suffered
through intemperance.

The Arizona Conner Comnanr

Col. Russell, the manager and general superintendent of the Arizona Copper company, was Tn the city this week. and returned home by this mornings train. This is one of the most successful min ing cOmpRnIes in existence, and iD spite of the low price of copper and the high cost of coke, it IS netting a very satis- factory interest On the investment. This is not altogether oNIng to the e1- cellenoe of the properties, which are csr. tainly remarkable deposits of ore, but it evidences very careful and economical management. With prices high and the cost of reducing the ore low, any body can make money with a fairly good mine, but great ability is required to safely conduct such business as the one Tn question with the obstacles that beEet if.
 The company now ruEs five stacks day and night, and every ton of English coke costs, at Clifton, $26. Copper too, is worth only S7g cents per pound. and with all its heavy expense, and distance from the market, the company makes money. They will experiment with crude petroleum for fuel, and if 1t works satisfactorily it will be substituted for coke, and they will adopt such modifcs- tiUus oi the old treatment of ores Rs eI- per.enoe shows to be the most ecouomi- cal and effective. They are entsrpris Inc and progressive people.

Cheek FnlIof Fun,

Jose LIbrHdo PreciGdo hes achieved fame and sII months in the county isl simply because of his over indulgence m the fun that was ID him. He IS nol posted on the cardinal principles oi spiri,ualism, but last evening he sud. denly developed into a rare medium oi spirit manifestation. Mescal Grd mur der are aliiterative companions, and a the spirit of the one goes down. that of the other restores the equilibrium by rising, and 90 when Jose charged down upon Barrio L.bre upon his bronco Rosauante, there was death in every car ,rIdge that his wicked gun contained. |. Terror lent wings tO the de1IZens of that primitive suburb and, although shots were fired, none were effective.
 He tinelly ro ie into a ChinamEn's store and demanded whisky. coupled with the persuasive argument ot bullet or two, The sad-eyed celestial a. once took his cue and got out of the back door ID safety.
 The jolly Mexican then went to the opposite side of the street and rode boldly into 6 private house and demand ell coffee for one. He got il, and then amused hims If by shooting st such ot the members of the family Gs he could get sight of. As upon the previous oc- casiOns his aim was not distres5Ingly sc- curate and the nearest approach Co a tragedy was bullet passing through toe sleeve of one of the men. About that time Marshal Roche reached the scene and engaged ic lively discus- sion with the joker. concluding with the torcible di4mouuting Oi the festiye Jose, aud the placing of haudcuils upon hls wrists after r0ugh-snd-tumble muscu- lar contest.
 The matter was sll fairly adjusted this afternoon, ty Judge Meyer, who thought S200 or six months in the iGDks was about the size of the frollc, Jose took the alternative.

TIE present board of supervisors are

1HE present board of supervisors are certainly free from any charge of section ai ihhnence or bias in the discharge O, their official duties. They possess rare executive abilities and are actusted soIe- ly by desire to serve the people in strict accordance with the law. No req sonable person can ssk more of them and no honest one would seek to have them violate the law. Their overwhelming la- DOTS and heavy responsibilities have been assumed at a personal sacrifice, as duty they owe to the public as good citizens, and the record they will leave behind them will be without a srngle blemlsh, A Nogales paper has taken them somewhat to task in an ill-consid
 cred article. for not building a branch Jail m that town before the law authorizing them Co do so goes into effect, when the reason for not building it st once is 6 just one. Their action ID this respect IS governed by no desire to deprive No gales of anything lawful or polite, and they fully recognize the necessity for q jail in that place. But in tho absence of authority to expend county money fer srch purpose the expense would be quite as unwarranted US though they had provided 0 grand banquet at the public expense, or built q market house. or made other unauthorized expenditure Of public funds. So soon IS the law authorizing the construction of branch Ialls st other towns than the county seat, is received, and its provisions take effect, We have reason tO believe that the board Of supervisors will cause one to be promptly erected iH Nogales without special efforts being eIerted by its people to bring such a contingency about. The News IS certainly unjust in I.s nasty conclusions. and its special attack upon Supervisor Proctor is without justi. fcahon, aud harms only itself. It should at least treat the board with fairness, mud not display in itself quality it assumes to exist and condemns in them.
